What are the effects of prolonged exposure to bird feeders on synthetic rattan surfaces?
Prolonged exposure to bird feeders on synthetic rattan surfaces can lead to several noticeable effects. Over time, the constant presence of birdseed, moisture, and bird droppings may cause discoloration or staining on the rattan. The synthetic material, while durable, can degrade if not cleaned regularly, leading to a weakened structure. Additionally, the weight of the feeder and frequent bird activity might cause slight indentations or wear on the surface. To mitigate these issues, it’s advisable to clean the rattan periodically and consider using protective mats or relocating the feeder occasionally. Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor furniture.
